Integrating OSH into University Engineering degree courses
The University of Liverpool integrates, in association with the Health and Safety Laboratory, OSH into different courses. The aims of this cooperation are
  • to create the ultimate learning environment for the engineers of tomorrow
  • to develop programmes that strike an appropriate balance between theoretical, professional and personal learning
  • to graduate distinctive Liverpool Engineers who are ready to meet the need of modern industry
  • to integrate health and safety risk concepts into the undergraduate engineering course

The keynote lectures are:
  • Professional Responsibilities
  • Human Factors
  • Inherently Safer Design
  • Standards for Engineers
  • Risk Assessment Process
  • Managing Project Risk

Nicola Stacey presented this project at the 7th Training & Innovation at Dresden, July 2007 and explained the "Code of Professional Conduct" for this project:
"Risk management should be an integral part of all aspects of engineering activity. It should be conducted systematically and be auditable."
"Look for potential hazards, failures and risks associated with your field of work or work-place and seek to ensure that they are properly addressed."
"Provide a general awareness of risk issues for all engineers during their initial formation".
